You know that pressure remains pretty high
-
until you get down to the arteriole levels;
-
we learned that when we talked about the circulatory system.
-
The pressure here is fairly high,
-
it might be 70 or 80 millimeters of mercury.
-
This is the pressure that drives filtration in the glomerulus.
-
The green arrow, which just appeared up here,
-
is supposed to indicate for this glomerulus right there filtration happens.
-
Because of the pressure drop in the glomerulus,
-
the low pressure in Bowman's space, this space that surrounds it,
-
fluid is driven through the walls of the capillary and collected outside.
-
What is produced there is really, what I called last time,
